Top 10 Worst Train Derailments

Sunday morning, a Metro-North train derailed in the Bronx, leaving four dead and 60 injured, 11 critically.

The derailment occurred at about 7:20 a.m. as the train was traveling to Grand Central Station in Manhattan.

According to The New York Times, it is unclear how fast the Hudson Line train was traveling at the time of the derailment, though it was reported that the train was traveling too fast for the turn it was making.

The derailment was just one of many issues that has plagued Metro-North in the last year, reports USA Today. In May, more than 70 people were hurt when two Metro-North trains derailed after colliding near Bridgeport, Conn., and in September, a power outage shutdown service for nearly two weeks.

While this derailment was tragic, it is not the worst we have seen. There have been many disastrous train derailments in history, but here is a list of the top 10 worst train accidents, particularly derailments, since 2010.
